Overview
Working as a systems engineer I worked with a large list of requirements and my role involved deriving these from customer specifications, finding evidence from trials and tests to sign off these requirements and creating test instructions and reports to do this.
Skills
I have a better overview of what a Systems engineer is, as well as engineering processes within the business.
Responsibilities
I wasn't in a position where I could take lead on any of my assigned tasks, however I was solely responsible for completing a lot of them independently.
Support & Guidance
Minimal. The work I did went through an internal review process once completed and it was only after this concluded was I given guidance on where to improve, but this process could take days or weeks.
Culture
It's difficult to get a gauge on this working from home, but I didn't notice any major issues.
Your Impressions
Working during Covid has it's challenges, but I feel this only amplified a lot of the issues I was facing and overall made it less enjoyable. I'm sure during a normal year this would've been much better.
No
Know what you want to get out of your placement and if it's not right speak up.
